It's good, solid Leonard, which, for me at least, is a cosy, comfortable, and extremely fun place to be for ninety-eight minutes.August 29, 2014
There's a lot of talent up on screen put to no grand use.August 29, 2014
Well worth seeing, particularly for Leonard people.October 02, 2014
Though a decidedly down-market adaptation of the great Elmore Leonard crime novel Switch, Life of Crime is never down-and-out.November 20, 2014
Perhaps Schechter should have started with a prequel to Death Proof and worked his way up from there.June 09, 2015
Schechter's staging is so flat that Leonard's dialogue never pops. You hear the words but not the music.August 29, 2014
It doesn't quite transcend its own haphazard, impoverished story.October 31, 2014
An abiding insignificance looms over the film, but it's a fun 98 minutes.August 29, 2014
Thanks to Leonard's source material and the outstanding cast, it works.August 29, 2014
All this is more amusing in theory than practice, partly because Leonard's world of wiseguys and slapstick violence has become so familiar - the caper-movie default mode.August 31, 2014
An amiable diversion, though not a terribly memorable one. Elmore Leonard aficionados longing for a truly worthy sendoff of the master crime writer will have to look ahead toward the upcoming final season of Justified, and cross their fingers.May 16, 2016
No matter what your favourite is of films based on Elmore Leonard books (and I'm for Out of Sight ahead of Jackie Brown), this crime comedy will deliver a surprise.
